The Massachusetts public school system has taken the tired mantra "You can be whatever you want to be" to new heights of absurdity. It is now possible for any student to declare what his sex is regardless of whether it is the biological opposite of what she was born as. The new transgender manifesto, which includes punishments and counseling for students who object to...

Which brings us to the next point; namely that the extreme leftist movement behind this recent insanity displays the characteristics of a sex cult. America's past and present are littered with such cults. It's just that having our public schools taken over by a sex cult is something we hadn't anticipated. But the fact is that a cult is using our kids to promote their outrageous theories on human sexuality. Our children are being brainwashed into believing their sexual identity is a completely arbitrary matter. Thus, they are being abused rather than affirmed as they are created. Psychological and emotional manipulation and experimentation is just as cruel as physical torture, perhaps even more so, as children have almost no filters to sift through the garbage that is being poured into their little minds and hearts...

But in the final analysis, which view of humanity is correct -- the one which acknowledges what overwhelming evidence and every civilization since the dawn of man knows to be true, or the crackpot theory that advocates eliminating the distinctions between male and female?

A final word to parents: How long are you going to put up with the abuse of your little ones? When will you rise up, remove your kids from what have become insane asylums and insist on placing your children in environments that are devoted to real education?

The “public school” is the Bus Ministry of the State Church of Humanism.

The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.

The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.

It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is collectivist.

It is hypocritical to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. Children do not trust hypocrites, so this will undermine your own authority, let alone influence, with your children.

Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world Gods invisible qualitieshis eternal power and divine naturehave been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creatorwho is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know Gods righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

The plan of the left is to make a whole bunch of crackpot ideas elevated to the status of “rights.” By doing that, it dilutes and renders meaningless the essential rights granted to man by God. It also supplants God with the state as the grantor of our rights, and what the state giveth, the state taketh away. Finally, it is absolutely necessary for the left to eliminate God as the source of our rights, as part of their denial of the existence of our eternal souls. Once you deny that people have souls, they become nothing more than pieces of meat, to be disposed of as the state sees fit.

Interesting that the government/Left is instituting two radical agendas that are at cross purposes:

1. The creation of “protected classes” based on race and sex, that recieve advantages and protections based on identity.

2. The destruction of natural identifiers. Although the government identififies African-Americans as a protected class, the government lacks any official method of identifying who is and isn’t African-American. Women are given special consideration and programs, yet the vary people espousing such treatment are also making sexual identification a personal choice issue.

We now in a crazy world where a white male can choose to be a black female (reverse Michael Jackson syndrome).

Now if a white male chooses to be a black lesbian, I presume that he (it) can further choose to be a black lesbian pretending to be a straight white male.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I never noticed anyone with a Massachusetts ping list. I'm not from Massachusetts, but I'm trying to start a list for each state that includes a FReeper with a state ping list for that state if that state doesn't have one already.

If I see a story about Massachusetts, I want to let you know. This is not expected to be a high volume ping list.

Do any of you have a state ping list for Massachusetts? Do any of you want to volunteer and take my Massachusetts list with the intent to grow it? Let me know via FReepmail. Then I can work on other states.
